Two Commissioned Quilts Completed



Image one:  quilt front
Image two:  quilt back
Image three:  quilt front and Tiberius

The first quilt was a melmade original, my sweetie sketched a design of a tree at sunset, and earth tones were requested for a colour scheme. The front is my abstract take of that design and the back is just a fun combination of solid colours I thought worked well together. One individual thought the quilt back reminded him of flags in an ocean of water, I like that description, thanks Odin.
The third image is the second quilt I finished up yesterday. Tiberius lays claim to all creations, by the way. It is the Point Me quilt pattern by Denyse Schmidt and I have used this pattern before. This time the fabrics for the triangles are different shades of blue and it is a queen sized quilt. I was able to do some long arm quilting on both quilts, after renting time on a machine from a nearby sewing store.
Both quilts turned out quite well. It feels great having completed these projects and I hope both quilts are enjoyed in their new homes.
Enjoy the journey.

Hello, Spring!




Happy Spring! There has been snow, lots of rain, bulbs and trees are beginning to grow, and there are so many birds. There is a chance of more snow, but it will melt. The hand knit vest was a gift for a wee baby boy. Tiberius is super excited about all the birds that keep him busy rushing from window to window. Hope all is well in your corners of the planet. Take care of each other and enjoy the journey. ox
